Mishihase

*** Shopping-Tip: Mishihase
The '''Mishihase''' (粛填) were a peoples of ancient Japan, believed to have lived on the northern portion of the shore of the Sea of Japan. They are believed to have spoken a Tungusic language. The name Sushen, which is rendered 肅愼 but pronounced Mishihase or Ashihase, can also be found in Japanese language Japanese documents. According to Nihonshoki, the Mishihase first arrived to Sado province during the reign of Emperor Kimmei. In 660, Japanese General Abe no Hirafu defeated the Mishihase in Hokkaido at the request of the Ezo. Some historians consider that the Mishihase were the same with the Sushen in Chinese records, and others think that Japanese named the indigenous people in the northeast based on the knowledge of Chinese documents, just as the Chinese did during the Three Kingdoms Period. {{ethno-stub}} {{japan-hist-stub}} Category:Ancient peoples Category:Ethnic groups in Japan Category:Ancient Japan ko:미시하세 ja:粛慎 zh:肃慎
